APPENDIX E " OWL/IP

Option A: Unicast Addressing

In this example, unicast IP addresses are entered in the table for each designated bridge. The two designated bridges on subnet 192.168.17.0 negotiate which access point serves as the designated bridge for that subnet.

AP 4 has the highest bridge priority, so AP 3 becomes the designated bridge only if AP 4 fails or loses its network connection. AP 5 is the only access point on subnet 192.168.23.0, so no fallback is available.

Following is the IP Addresses Table for this option:

 

 

Type

Address

 

 

1

<Unicast>

192.168.17.16

 

2

<Unicast>

192.168.17.188

 

3

<Unicast>

192.168.23.21

 

4

<Unicast>

0.0.0.0

 

 

5

<Unicast>

0.0.0.0

 

 

6

<Unicast>

0.0.0.0

 

 

7

<Unicast>

0.0.0.0

 

 

8

<Unicast>

0.0.0.0

 

 

 

 

 

 

Option B: Directed Broadcast

In this example, a directed broadcast address is used for each subnet. The broadcast to subnet 192.168.17.0 is received by all access points. The access point with the highest bridge priority provides the remote termination of the OWL/IP tunnel. A broadcast MAC address is used.
